Costa Rica captain Ruiz relieved to escape chaos at Sporting CP

The midfielder will be a free agent after he leads his team in Russia and is looking forward to moving past a tumultuous situation in Portugal

Bryan Ruiz says he is blocking out the chaos at Sporting CP, where several key players have cancelled their contracts with the Portuguese side.

Many of the clubs biggest names are departing due to a feud with president Bruno de Carvalho and a violent attack by their own ultras at their training ground.

Ruiz is among the group leaving the club, though he will depart as a free agent in July rather than having to cancel his contract.
